I definitely understand. I'm in the navy and I move around a lot. I have a small fraction of the books I own at my permanent duty station, the rest of them stored away. However, I've always wanted my own library. I love the smell, the look, the feel of paper books. So I have stockpiled books for years with this purpose in mind. At the moment, though, I carry around most of my books on my computer hard drives. I do the same for my movies and my comics and other types of media I simply cannot carry around with me every time I change duty stations or get deployed somewhere. So I can understand the desire to save space. For me, though, its always been about having my own mini-library someday when I'm settled in somewhere nice.
